A Beautiful Home Adventure

November 1, 1986|By Susanne Hupp of The Sentinel Staff

Since 1977, the Hadassah Tour of Beautiful Homes has offered design buffs an annual peek inside three or four interesting Central Florida homes. There have been stylish houses of prominent interior designers, homes of art or antiques collectors, architecturally stark houses furnished with contemporary classics and quaintly cluttered oldsters stuffed with antiques. Each has been an adventure.

The 10th Hadassah tour on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. promises more excitement. Houses vary from a plush zero-lot-line second home of a physician who lives and practices in Manhattan and a sprawling winter home of couple from the Midwest to the very individual homes of an Altamonte Springs designer and collector and an Orlando developer and his wife.

Sponsored by the Rishona Masada group of the Orlando chapter of Hadassah, the show's proceeds will benefit Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Israel. Tickets, $10, are available at the door or from Gallery 17-92, 912 S. Orlando Ave.; Kensington Park Condominiums, Kensington Park Drive, Altamonte Springs. For details call: (305) 647-6848 or (305) 647-1792.
